Supreme Court says no more official hijackings allowed.

July 15, 2003

In a little noticed decision, the Venezuelan Supreme Court voided a section of the Land Bill which allowed  infamous “burping” General Acosta Carles to take over a soda and beer distribuitor last January. The Court said that Judges may not use this Bill in emergencies to take property away from people. The suit was presented by the Polar beer company and in a rare case, the Court decided on the substance of the issue even though it was a request for an injunction.
